What's the ticket release schedule?

Free tickets are released on the following schedule:

• First batch: Monday 6 February at 1pm

• Second batch: Thursday 9 February at 1pm

• Final batch and opening of waiting list: Tuesday 14 February at 1pm

Important:

We need full names for each individual. This is a security requirement. You are unable to book a ticket on behalf of a friend or colleague. If two tickets are booked under the same name, we've set up a system where the duplicates will be automatically cancelled. Thanks for understanding!

If you have a ticket and find you cannot attend, please cancel at least 48 hours in advance. That will allow us to reallocate your ticket to someone else. We send names to the venue 48 hours before the event starts and no changes can be made after this time.

We keep the vast majority of tickets free of charge. But if you want to skip the waiting list, you can purchase a supporter ticket (note that numbers are limited). All proceeds get ploughed back into our events.

If you have any questions about the ticketing system, or want to get in touch, please email info@hhldn.co.uk (or just reply to this email). Keep in mind that we are all volunteers and can’t always deal with every email.
